There Is quite a controversy going on In the club now as to which of the members can most perfectly manipulate the Instru. ment. As they are all musicians. It Is very hard to decide the question, but from last reports the honors seem to rest between H. J. Wherity and Dr Jansen, with the chances In favor of the former. It Is reported that the genial llnrry Is making quite a record as a virtuoso. The neighbors In the vicinity of the rluh rooms have not as yet raised any objec- Mlons, but It Is rumored that they will shortly ask the boys to remove tne source of all that noise." the piano " To an Astorlan representative, last evening, Mr. H. Bell stated that he had been somewhat misrepresent concern ing hlaiemarks referred to In yes'erday's Issue relative to street grades. In view of the action taken In the city council Inst night and In Justice to Mr. Bell, It should he stated that he specifically denies that he said to an Astorlan reporter, or any one else, that the council could change the street grades at will, as It requires a three-fourths vote of all the property owners on any street In order to change the grade of that street. He simply said that the grades of streets over the water ought to be raised six or eight feet In or der to provide cellarage for buildings, and that he had been called upon by numbers of people recently concerning street grade, to all of whom he could give no assurance as to what would lie the future grade.

I I 'hi you ever stop to think how much ' time Ihe average man wastes foolishly I In worrying about that whl-'h he cannot ' help? one of the old Greek ;htloophere I divided life Into two sets of things; first, those which are subject to our con trol; and, second, those whl.'h are be yond our control. While this is n very elementary division It Is one will h makes It very easy to place every act or con dltlon in Its proper sphere. Now. it ' requires very little phllusophy to arrive at the conclusion that It doe no good to j worry about those things which we can not control, and If It does no goo I, 't Is I Gateway Ilebekah IjxUe No. 77, I. O. therefore a foolish waste of energy. We ' O. K., will give another of their most en cannot change the temperature of the I JuyaMe socials on Baturiiy, April IH sun by kicking about the heut. And by the same system of reasoning we are even more foolish In wurrylng about those things which we .-an control, be cause it is our business to .-ontrol them. I have often thought that If we could apply that bit of phllosiphv to all the pruldetns of life as they present them selves, It would of Itself make the world a great deal brighter and seem a greul deal better. 1 have a friend who Is pluced In perhaps thu most unfortunate surroundlnxs In whl"h a man ruuld pos sibly find himself In. If any man has right to look ut the world through green j spectacles, as Htophen Crane says, he certainly has. And yet I think he has become as thoroughly ihe master of his circumstances as any man I know, lim ply by holding with absolute firmness to the convl'ilon that he must submit with patience to those circumstances which he cannot change and attack with energy tho. thnlgs within himself which by effort he can change, and In this par ticular taae I am satisfied that out i.f what seems upon the surface to he one of thi bitterest experiences through which a man run pass, he will come as the gold conies from the smelter, all the better for the trial. It ni ay seem like a cheap philosophy which simply dis poses of all difficulties '.y naylng they are for the best, hut I think that the deeper we study Into tho cause of things and their effect, the more thoroughly satisfied we will be that It Is only the good that Is. I believe that th nearer we can come to 'he mastery of that be lief, the lighter will grow every shade and the brighter every light. It haa always struck me as stringe that In the most trivial things of life we regard edu cation, study and thought as absolutely netehsnry to success, and vet when It comes to life Itself, most of us rise In the morning with the same Instln't that arouses the hog from her th ep, and eat, and breathe, and go to sleep ugnin with as little attention to the real life Hself as though It wero of no con-tern to us. I believe we would get more good out of everything If we applied more system to life Itself. I say this without any fear of hurting the feelings of anyone else, as the observation Is directed n much toward myself as any one. W. If. ELLIS.
